Answer:

Its degree can be at least 1970

Step-by-step explanation:

for each root of the form √q, where q is not a square, we have a root -√q. Therefore, we need to find, among the numbers below to 1000, how many sqaures there are.

Since √1000 = 31.6, we have a total of 30 squares:

2², 3², 4², ...., 30², 31²

Each square gives one root and the non squares (there are 1000-30 = 970 of them) gives 2 roots (one for them and one for the opposite). Hence the smallest degree a rational polynomial can have is

970*2 + 30 = 1970

Which of the following statements is true?
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is C. A scalene triangle can be a right triangle.


This is because a scalene triangle is a triangle where all of the sides and angles are different from one another. This automatically tells us that options A and D are incorrect, because equiangular triangles have all 3 angles equivalent and if two sides were of equal length in the triangle, then it would not be scalene.


This leaves us with options B and C. An obtuse triangle simply has one angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees, and a right triangle is a triangle with a right angle (an angle that measures exactly 90 degrees). Scalene triangles can be both obtuse and right, as long as the side lengths and angles are not equal to one another. This makes option B incorrect, and option C the only correct option out of the four.


Your answer is option C.


Hope this helps!

Fantom [35]
The probability that the first two votes drawn are both for candidate a is given by:
3C2/5C2 = 3/10
Having drawn two votes for candidate a on the first two draws, there are 2 votes for candidate b and one vote for candidate a remaining. The probability that a vote for candidate b will be drawn on the third draw is:
2/3.
After the first three draws, there reains one vote for candidate a and one vote for candidate b. The probability that a vote for candidate a will be drawn on the fourth draw is:
1/2.
The probability of the ordering aabab is therefore given by:
\frac{3}{10}\times\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{60}
The answer is: 0.1.
